Great new TV commercials

Television commercial production is a large part of what we do at Toast. We’re privileged to work with the world’s top brands and produce
their ads because we’re enthusiastic about what we do. And it showed in the huge popularity of our April
review of great new television commercials. So we thought we’d bring it back as a regular feature.

Jammie Dodger’s A Certain Gooey Thing parody

This
commercial is weird as hell. But that’s what makes this biscuit brand
interesting. They aren’t everyone’s first choice because the concept of the
biscuit itself is strange. But they do inspire devoted followers. In this ad,
they’ve decided to work their offbeat recipe to their advantage with a red
haired monkey acting out a rock tune in the style of a music video. And he’s
got the biscuit attached to his head. Tasty.

M&M’s
Sexy And I Know It 2012 Superbowl campaign

In this ad, a male M&M strips at the
site of an embarrassed brown female M&M, thinking that she’s naked because
she’s got a shell the colour of chocolate. We’ve all have over-enthusiastic
moments, and encounter annoyingly over-enthusiastic people, and it’s
embarrassing. It makes us feel vulnerable. So we look for comfort food, like
M&Ms.

Tetley’s
Five Minute Tea Break commercial

Tetley takes a step away from their cartoon
representatives and parodies the troubles of the modern woman. The ad shows a husband
who expects his dinner, but doesn’t know what to do with himself when his wife reacts
by taking five minutes to herself to enjoy a tea. When she puts her mug in the dishwasher,
he holds her tight.
